Exhibit 10.1

SUMMARY OF DIRECTOR AND NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION

This summary sets forth the compensation of the Directors of Kimball Electronics, Inc. (the “Company”). The summary also includes compensation of the Company’s current Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and the three other most highly compensated executive officers, who will be referred to herein as our “Named Executive Officers.”

For a detailed description of the compensation arrangements that the Directors and Named Executive Officers participate in, refer to the Company’s registration statement on Form 10, which the Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective on October 7, 2014 (“Form 10”). The Company was a wholly owned subsidiary of Kimball International, Inc. (“former Parent”) and as of 5:00 p.m. New York time on October 31, 2014 became a stand-alone public company upon the completion of a spin-off from former Parent.

Director Compensation

All Outside (non-employee) Directors receive annual compensation of $75,000 for the year for service as Directors. For the initial organizational activities relating to the Spin, the Directors received a one-time addition to the annual retainer of $5,000. The Chairperson of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and the Chairperson of the Compensation and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors each receive an additional $10,000 annual retainer fee.

The Directors can elect to receive some or all of their annual retainer fees in shares of Common Stock under the Company’s 2014 Stock Option and Incentive Plan. Directors are also reimbursed for travel expenses incurred in connection with Board and Committee meeting attendance.

An Outside Director is a director who is not an employee of the Company or one of its subsidiaries. Donald D. Charron, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, is a Director of the Company but does not receive compensation for his service as a Director.

During August 2013, the Named Executive Officers were awarded grants of performance shares under former Parent’s 2003 Amended and Restated Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “former Parent’s 2003 Plan”).

(1) Shares granted in June 2014 for the fiscal year 2015 performance period under former Parent’s 2003 Plan in former Parent’s stock. On December 2, 2014, these outstanding awards were amended to provide an equitable adjustment and to be granted in the Company’s stock. These shares have been increased due to the spin-off by an adjustment factor of 1.94 in accordance with the terms of the plans.
(2) Additional shares granted in February 2015 for the fiscal year 2015 performance period under the Company’s 2014 Stock Option and Incentive Plan. The purpose is to bring certain members of the Company’s management team and other key employees closer to their market value for total compensation and compensation mix as well as to recognize exceptional performance and contributions during the spin-off.

The number of shares to be issued will be dependent upon the percentage payout under the Company’s 2014 Stock Option and Incentive Plan. The annual performance shares vest after the end of the Company’s fiscal year. Refer to the Company’s registration statement on Form 10 for further details.

Retirement Plans

The Named Executive Officers participate in a defined contribution, participant-directed retirement plan that all domestic employees are eligible to participate in (the “Retirement Plan”). The Retirement Plan provides for voluntary employee contributions as well as a discretionary Company contribution which is determined annually by the Compensation and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors. Each eligible employee’s Company contribution is defined as a percent of eligible compensation, the percent being identical for all eligible employees, including Named Executive Officers. Participant contributions are fully vested immediately, and Company contributions are fully vested after five years of participation. All Named Executive Officers are fully vested. The Retirement Plan is fully funded. For those eligible employees who, under the 1986 Tax Reform Act, are deemed to be highly compensated, their individual Company contribution under the Retirement Plan is reduced. For employees who are eligible, including all Named Executive Officers, there is a nonqualified, Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (“SERP”) in which the Company contributes to the account of each individual an amount equal to the reduction in the contribution under the Retirement Plan arising from the provisions of the 1986 Tax Reform Act. The SERP investment is primarily composed of employee contributions.
